Pretty sure 311 are just ska. Static-X might be part of the same cultural zeitgeist that nu metal was from but I really don't think they qualify. Maybe an influence, but definitely not nu metal. And I can only remember ever hearing two Alien Ant Farm songs from back in high school and I don't remember anyone ever thinking they were nu metal, or even metal for that matter.
